Do you want to take your dancing to the next level?

The best way is by getting a deeper understanding of the material you are learning, and these sessions will provide you that.  The idea is to train not only your body, but also your ear and mind, helping you understand when, how, and why execute certain movements.

We will be using the following format:
– Each class will have a ±30 minute technical warm-up, and ±10 minutes lecture, and the rest dance drills/material.
– 4 classes in each session, and each class will be a building block for the session
– Each class will concentrate in different dance / technique / rhythm / move vocabulary:
Class 1 – African Dance techniques
Class 2 – Afro-Caribbean Dance Techniques
Class 3 – Popular Dance Technique
Class 4 – Salsa/Mambo Fusion

Missed Class Policy.  There is no make up classes, but a link of the video recording will be provided for each class.  The video will only be available for 48 hours.
